The NGA’s Washington meetings are expected to take place Feb. 19 to 21. The organization said Friday that the White House meeting will no longer be part of the association’s official schedule.
In a statement Friday, Brandon Tatum, the interim CEO of the #NGA, said that the “bipartisan White House #governors meeting is an important tradition, & we are disappointed in the administration’s decision to make it a partisan occasion this year.”
#Trump plans to keep #Democrats out of a traditionally bipartisan White House gathering of #governors held as part of the National Governors Association’s annual Washington summit, the organization said.
According to the governors’ offices, Trump also revoked invitations sent to Maryland Gov Wes Moore (D), the #NGA’s vice chair; & Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) to attend a second White House event scheduled to occur around the summit∶ a dinner for governors.

Polis & #Trump have repeatedly feuded over Tina Peters, a former county clerk in Colorado who was #convicted in state court on #felony charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Polis has defended the conviction & refused the White House’s request to transfer Peters to a federal prison. Because of this, in December, Trump in a Truth Social post called Polis a “scumbag” & said he should “rot in Hell.” [so presidential🤦🏼♀️]
